In the last four or five years I have been drinking more and more Prosecco than Cava and it also seems to be an awful lot cheaper than Champagne .. quelle surprise !
Currently, a great bargain can be had in some of the supermarkets. The bottle I have opened right now is the La Marca Prosecco - Extra Dry. The label says 'Vino Spumante Aromatico di Qualita' 11% vol and a 75 cl bottle all for £5.99 from my local waitrose. Bought this afternoon - it travelled fine and was put into a freezer bag/wine chiller to chill it to perfection for 5-10 minutes (these things are invaluable for that bottle you want to drink *now* ) Leaving bottles in the fridge for too long does them no good at all.
Some experts have recomended a quick 30mins in the fridge is all that is needed. Well, I am not so sure - if your fridge is relatively empty it may take longer to chill and I didn't want to wait.
So - back to the wine. Prosecco to me seems to be slightly less fizzy than the other sparkling wines out there and maybe just ever so slightly sweeter for its class. It is also generally super cheap and a great celebratory fizz to buy in a restaurant.
So - the La Marca Prosecco is going down ever so well and if it wasn't for my large lunch I might be devouring bowl of olives with it
Happy glugging
